This study focused on the digitization of critical processes at the National University of Trujillo (UNT), specifically in the issuance of certificates with digital signature and graduation procedures, selected for their academic relevance. A hybrid system of private cloud and server cluster was implemented, using a quasi-experimental design with a control group and an experimental group. Statistical analysis was performed with Student's t-tests and Mann-Whitney tests, using Minitab software. Statistically, a sample of 30 measurements was used, which is sufficient for the sample distribution of the mean to approximate a normal distribution as in this case, which was useful for applying the T-Student test. The results showed a significant reduction in processing times. In the issuance of certificates with digital signature, the average time decreased from 10.94 days to 2.21 days, and in graduation procedures, from 51.08 days to 27.98 days. In addition, user satisfaction increased from 2 to 4 in both processes. The results support the effectiveness of cloud computing in the digital transformation of academic processes at the Universidad Nacional de Trujillo, which can serve as a model for other institutions in the field.
